No Taxes? LOL. The majority of D.C. is living on the taxes paid by those of us who do pay taxes.

why does congress now think they don't have to go through the amendment process ?

The same reason they thought they could impose a 60/90 day limit on free speech that is critical of politicians.

Arlington County, VA was once part of the District.

Your idea is an excellent one, but I doubt it would ever come to pass.

Tom Davis is a RINO. And with the Democrats he wants to make an end run around the Constitution to widen the Democrats' House majority? Sorry, not on my watch.

Speak for yourself. It is a terrible idea. For one, it would make a state where it is difficult to elect a GOP governor or senator impossible.
